💎 PREMIUM: Id/ButtonDownMind/recommended/ - Uncensored 2025

The difficulty is just too much. You die in 3 hits in most encounters and have to do massive run backs regularly, the game is incredibly stingy with currency which is easy to lose, and some enemy encounters are just wildly punishing. It's a shame, am the visuals, music, and world are so well done and intriguing but I don't think I'm ever going to get to see much of it because my hands just aren't fast enough and I don't have the time to grind to 'git gud'. Bummer as I really enjoyed Hollow Knight.

Edit: Changed my review after finally making some progress. I still think parts of the game, especially early on, are too hard and the pacing is uneven, but everything else really is masterful.
